When you start your workday by opening an email with no subject matter, and a sentence that simply states "who dis?", you know you're in for a real mind-blower.
Helmet : The ugliest, noisiest, and heaviest non metal band...ever?. Before the "Betty" LP, before Peter Mengede left, Helmet put out a number of awesome singles and 7-inches through Amphetamine Reptile before releasing their "Strap it On" LP. All of these are mandatory listening. Unfortunately, the band never recaptured their insane sound from this era, and instead opted for either a more accessible sound (probably due to being on Interscope) or trying to recreate Meantime 2.0 with the "Aftertaste" LP. Attached below is the "Strap it On" LP.
Helmet : Strap it On
The Jesus Lizard : A lot of the stuff Steve Albini produced for these guys is pretty good, give or take a few songs. A lot of what wasn't produced by him is not good. That's not just me being an asshole...put their "Blue" album on and try to convince yourself it's not bad...you can't. Attached below is their second LP, "Goat". David Yow & company at their most psychotic.
The Jesus Lizard : Goat
Doughboys : Over the years I've revisited this band a number of times. Each time thinking maybe I'm just missing something and I'll catch it this time. Naturally, today wasn't that day. They still sound to me like they took the less memorable parts of Mega City Four, Seaweed, and Dinosaur Jr, mixed them up and put out a bunch of shitty albums. Attached below is their first LP, "Whatever". Pretty fitting name.
